WASHINGTON — The Washington Wizards are one of the few NBA teams who can actually call the Charlotte Bobcats a nemesis, and that's nothing to brag about.

So the Wizards had no problem finding the motivation to become the latest team to beat up on the worst club in the league. They never trailed Saturday night in a 104-87 victory, Charlotte's 10th straight loss.

"They beat us two times on the season," said Nene, who scored 19 points, "so we needed to step up."
